A very aesthetic and very rare combination piece from the Himalaya Mine and the Irv Brown Collection. A classic, 3.3 x 2.2 cm, pink tourmaline with a green cap is very artfully attached to a snow-white albite crystal blade. The back of the tourmaline and albite crystals are totally covered with tiny, bladed stilbite crystals. This is an outstanding and rare association piece from this historic mine. Tourmaline is pristine, gemmy and lustrous.
